Wedding will be one of the May bank holiday weekends
I wonder if Prince Harry’s father James Hewitt will be in attendance.

Sniggers. Whenever there’s a Royal Wedding on, I switch off my TV and Radio all day and avoid news sites. I have no time whatsoever for that over privileged shower of disfunctional inbreds (although Harry may not fall into that category) and I strongly object to funding their opulent existence with my taxes. At a personal level, I wish the couple a happy future in the same way I would any other random couple getting married.
If there’s a Stones gig the same day, that would be perfect for me and I would definitely be there, even if it was at a venue I don’t particularly like.

Wow - didn't realize it was announced that Clapton will be headlining one of the Hyde park shows.
This is great news as I thought he was off to the farm for a peaceful retirement.
So you have Roger Waters on Friday, Clapton on Sunday...if the Stones play on Saturday it will be the next best thing to Desert Trip.
And where are The Who amidst all of this...hunkered down in Vegas? And Paul McCartney? Bob Dylan? Neil Young?

Hyde Park: you rent a hotel room close as possible, and walk to your shows?
Through throngs of 50,000? 100,000? More?
Night after night?
I get The Glastonbury tent thing.
Also, all general admission Hyde Park?

I stayed in the Victoria-area for the Stones's HP 2013-show (#1). No troubles whatsoever with the tube either way. The HP-area is huge, so even though there are 100.000 on their way there, you won't have any problems in transit to the park

Dont think They will play Hyde Park once again. They have heard about the entry problems last time, and dont want to burden the fans once again...

"...But following decisions made by The Powers That Be, I think this was reduced to 50,000 for the 2013 Stones concert, and less still for other bands".
ycagwywpmd, I think the crowd of each Stones concert in Hyde Park was 65,000 in 2013.

I am very happy that the UK is going to get a small tour next year. Ya'all do get short handed at times and I am very glad you are finally getting another ample chance to catch a series of shows in your area.
I want to ask .. is there / are there any word on a tour in the US. You would think with the release of an album this would be the gist of things.
A late spring / early summer tour of the UK and then a fall tour of the US would be so called for.
Any word on that?

Rumours of Australian dates abound Ian: Stones in OZ late summer 2018
By the way Ian, I always assumed you were from England, yet your post above gives the impression you're from somewhere else?

This would perhaps mark the first time since 1973 ... Goats Head Soup that The Stones will release a studio album without it's headlining tour (/world) starting first in the states .. Am I wrong there?

There will be NO new album before the 18 tour I'm pretty sure. And if I'm wrong they won't play more than 2-3 songs off it.

Like Ian Anderson (musician) and Ian Botham (cricketer) among others...anyhow, greetings from California.
You seem to be quite sure that the supposed new album will be released before or will coincide the UK tour - what is your reasoning behind this?!!!Quote

I would tend to agree with this...I'm thinking new album in '19 at the earliest, but time will tell.

Lol .. it BETTER not be in 2019!... I mean if that's the case I'm throwing in the towel mate. Im not sure the album will come out before the UK tour. I expect it by early fall either way.
I used to live in California as well .. Van Nuys and then Granada Hills .. 2006-2008
